A Practitioner's Guide to Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy
by Raymond A. Digiuseppe Kristene A. Doyle Windy Dryden Wouter BackxA Practitioner's Guide to Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy reviews the philosophy, theory, and clinical practice of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). This model is based on the work of Albert Ellis, who had an enormous influence on the field of psychotherapy over his 50 years of practice and scholarly writing. Designed for both therapists-in-training and seasoned professionals, this practical treatment manual and guide introduces the basic principles of rational-emotive behavior therapy, explains general therapeutic strategies, and offers many illustrative dialogues between therapist and patient. The volume breaks down each stage of therapy to present the exact procedures and skills therapists need, and numerous case studies illustrate how to use these skills. The authors describe both technical and specific strategic interventions, and they stress taking an integrative approach. The importance of building a therapeutic alliance and the use of cognitive, emotive, evocative, imaginal, and behavioral interventions serves as the unifying theme of the approach. Intervention models are presented for the treatment of anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, personality disorders, and addictions. Psychologists, clinical social workers, mental health counselors, psychotherapists, and students and trainees in these areas will find this book useful in learning to apply rational-emotive behavior therapy in practice.

The Pragmatic Basis of Aphasia: A Neurolinguistic Study of Morphosyntax Among Bilinguals (Neuropsychology and Neurolinguistics Series)
by Marc L. SchnitzerThis language study's primary purpose is to use aphasic performance to understand language, rather than to use linguistic analysis to understand aphasia. Examining the detailed nature of linguistic performance of bilingual aphasics in a variety of "natural" and metalinguistic tasks, the book reports the results of a study of morphology and syntax among Spanish-English bilingual and monolingual hispanophones in Puerto Rico.
Pragmatic Development
by Anat NinioThe pragmatic system consists of the rules for appropriate and communicatively-effective language use. This book provides an integrated view of the acquisition of the various pragmatic subsystems, including expression of communicative intents, participation in conversation, and production of extended discourse. The three components of the pragmatic system are presented in a way that makes clear how they relate to each other and why they all fall under the rubric of "pragmatics". The authors combine their own extensive work in these three domains with an overview of the field of pragmatic development, describing how linguistic pragmatics relates to other aspects of language development, to social development, and to becoming a member of one's culture.
The Pragmatic Mind: Explorations in the Psychology of Belief
by Mark BauerleinThe Pragmatic Mind is a study of the pragmatism of Emerson, James, and Peirce and its overlooked relevance for the neopragmatism of thinkers like Richard Rorty, Stanley Cavell, Stanley Fish, and Cornel West. Arguing that the "original" pragmatists are too-often cited casually and imprecisely as mere precursors to this contemporary group of American intellectuals, Mark Bauerlein explores the explicit consequences of the earlier group's work for current debates among and around the neopragmatists.Bauerlein extracts from Emerson, James, and Peirce an intellectual focus that can be used to advance the broad social and academic reforms that the new pragmatists hail. He claims that, in an effort to repudiate the phony universalism of much contemporary theory, the new generation of theorists has ignored the fact that its visions of pragmatic action are grounded in this "old" school, not just in a way of doing things but also in a way of thinking about things. In other words, despite its inclination to regard psychological questions as irrelevant, Bauerlein shows that the pragmatic method demands a pragmatic mind--that is, a concept of cognition, judgment, habit, and belief. He shows that, in fact, such a concept of mind does exist, in the work of the "old" pragmatists.
A Pragmatic Perspective of Measurement (SpringerBriefs in Psychology)
by David Torres IrribarraThis book aims to address the challenges of defining measurement in social sciences, presenting a conceptualization of the practice of measurement from the perspective of the pragmatic tradition in philosophy. The book reviews key questions regarding the scope and limits of measurement, emphasizing that if the trust that the public places on measures in the social sciences relies on their connection to the notion of measurement in the physical sciences, then the clarification of the similarities and differences between measurement in the physical and the social realms is of central importance to adequately contextualize their relative advantages and limitations. It goes on to present some of the most influential theories of measurement such as the “classical view” of measurement, operationalism, and the representational theory of measurement, as well as more methodological perspectives arising from the practice of researchers in the social sciences, such as the latent variable perspective, and from the physical sciences and engineering, represented by metrology. This overview illustrates that the concept of measurement, and that of quantitative methods, is currently being used across the board in ways that do not necessarily conform to traditional, classical definitions of measurement, pushing the boundaries of what constitutes our technical understanding of it. Moreover, what constitutes a technical understanding of measurement, and the theoretical commitments that it entails, must vary in different areas. In this context, disagreement on what is constitutive of measurement is bound to appear. Pragmatism is presented as a theoretical perspective that offers the advantage of being flexible and fallibilist, encouraging us to abandon the pursuit of a timeless and perfect definition that attempts to establish decontextualized/definitive demarcation criteria for what is truly measurement. This book will be of particular interest for psychologists and other human and social scientists, and more concretely for scholars interested in measurement and assessment in psychological and social measurement. The pragmatic perspective of measurement presents a conceptual framework for researchers to ground their assessment practices acknowledging and dealing with the challenges of social measurement.

Pragmatics and Natural Language Understanding (Tutorial Essays in Cognitive Science Series)
by Georgia M. GreenThis book differs from other introductions to pragmatics in approaching the problems of interpreting language use in terms of interpersonal modelling of beliefs and intentions. It is intended to make issues involved in language understanding, such as speech, text, and discourse, accessible to the widest group possible -- not just specialists in linguistics or communication theorists -- but all scholars and researchers whose enterprises depend on having a useful model of how communicative agents understand utterances and expect their own utterances to be understood. Based on feedback from readers over the past seven years, explanations in every chapter have been improved and updated in this thoroughly revised version of the original text published in 1989. The most extensive revisions concern the relevance of technical notions of mutual and normal belief, and the futility of using the notion 'null context' to describe meaning. In addition, the discussion of implicature now includes an extended explication of "Grice's Cooperative Principle" which attempts to put it in the context of his theory of meaning and rationality, and to preclude misinterpretations which it has suffered over the past 20 years. The revised chapter exploits the notion of normal belief to improve the account of conversational implicature.
Pragmatics of Human Communication: A Study of Interactional Patterns, Pathologies and Paradoxes
by Don D. Jackson Paul Watzlawick Janet Beavin BavelasThe properties and function of human communication. Called "one of the best books ever about human communication," and a perennial bestseller, Pragmatics of Human Communication has formed the foundation of much contemporary research into interpersonal communication, in addition to laying the groundwork for context-based approaches to psychotherapy. The authors present the simple but radical idea that problems in life often arise from issues of communication, rather than from deep psychological disorders, reinforcing their conceptual explorations with case studies and well-known literary examples. Written with humor and for a variety of readers, this book identifies simple properties and axioms of human communication and demonstrates how all communications are actually a function of their contexts. Topics covered in this wide-ranging book include: the origins of communication; the idea that all behavior is communication; meta-communication; the properties of an open system; the family as a system of communication; the nature of paradox in psychotherapy; existentialism and human communication.
Praise, Motivation and the Child
by Gill RobinsAnyone who spends time with children knows that praise works. It is a powerful motivator - praising children for good behaviour or good work builds self- esteem and self-confidence. Children love to collect stickers, certificates and rewards – so what better way is there to shape behaviour, encourage good work habits and produce confident learners? Teachers and parents alike know that praise is effective – we use it every day and we see the positive effect that it has on our children. However, constructivist practitioners would argue that praise in any form creates hierarchies and competition in the classroom, has little effect on genuine learning and is invasively judgemental rather than supportive. Constructivists would further argue that self-esteem cannot be built by external agency – teachers and parents can only create an appropriate environment in which a robust sense of ‘self’ can grow and develop. This book challenges traditional, embedded thinking about the role of praise. It questions the assumptions we make about developing self-esteem, about the ability of children to form their own independent judgements and the choices that children make regardless, rather than because of, contingent praise. What happens when children are praised? Read this book, listen to what children really think and challenge your own assumptions. Features include: Case studies and children’s work samples; Points for reflection which could be used for CPD sessions; Appendices containing behaviour policy samples; Pupil, teacher and parental perspectives. This book is aimed at practising and training Primary school teachers. It would also be suitable for NQTs who are starting to shape their own practice, experienced teachers who want to develop and question their own practice and students on BA Hons and PGCE courses.
Praising Boys Well: 100 Tips for Parents and Teachers

How can parents strike the right balance between giving effective praise and not going overboard? How can we help our boys to feel proud without inspiring a false sense of confidence or making them praise dependent? Praising Boys Well shows parents and teachers alike what boys need to hear along the developmental continuum and offers countless tips on what to encourage; which phrases to use-and to avoid; when incentives are appropriate; and how to incorporate praise into our boys' everyday activities.

Praktijkboek gedeelde besluitvorming in de GGZ: Kracht van verhalen, beeld en dialoog
by J.M.G. Maurer G.M.A. WestermannDit boek beschrijft hoe efficiënt behandelen binnen de GGZ mogelijk is als hulpvragers en hulpverleners vanuit een gedeelde visie samen beslissen over de te bieden zorg. In dit boek leer je stapsgewijs – van aanmelding tot afronding van de behandeling – hoe je de principes van gedeelde besluitvorming met hulp van het Dialoogmodel kunt toepassen in de praktijk. Efficiënt behandelen in de GGZ vraagt om goed afgestemde samenwerking en voldoende wederzijds vertrouwen. Samen duidelijk krijgen wat speelt, wat nodig is en wie dat op welke manier kan bieden en daarover samen beslissen, daar draait het om. Gedeelde besluitvorming is dus niet alleen de juiste behandelvorm koppelen aan de juiste diagnose. Vanaf aanmelding tot afronding zijn er talloze momenten waarop je als behandelaar – al dan niet bewust – keuzes maakt en beslissingen neemt over je rol, positie, attitude en inbreng. Datzelfde geldt voor hulpvragers. Als deze keuzes en beslissingen goed op elkaar aansluiten, is de kans op een gunstig resultaat het grootst. Zo samen optrekken, biedt alle betrokkenen de meeste voldoening. Het Praktijkboek gedeelde besluitvorming in de GGZ richt zich op het hanteren van dagelijkse praktijksituaties. Deze komen in elk hoofdstuk ruimschoots aan bod, geïllustreerd met afbeeldingen en aangevuld met handige formats. Je leest hoe gedeelde besluitvorming helpt om je kennis en expertise en die van de hulpvrager optimaal te benutten. Het Dialoogmodel wordt hierbij als hulpmiddel ingezet. Dit model verbindt en integreert de visies en verhalen van hulpvragers en betrokken behandelaren via dialoog op basis van een goede werkrelatie. Jac Maurer werkte tot zijn pensionering als klinisch psycholoog/psychotherapeut in de volwassen-, kinder- en jeugdzorg in de GGZ. Daarbij was hij lid van wetenschapscommissies en vervulde hij de rol van P-opleider. George Westermann is kinder- en jeugdpsychiater/psychotherapeut. Daarnaast is hij opleider kinder- en jeugdpsychiatrie en medisch manager bij Zuyderland GGZ. Hij is internationaal wetenschappelijk actief op het gebied van gedeelde besluitvorming.
